A CARNELIAN AGATE ‘WEIQI PLAYER’ BOULDER, QING
China, 18th-19th century. Finely carved and incised to depict two scholars playing weiqi on a cliff below a gnarly pine tree, all within a massive craggy rock formation. The natural color variegations of the stone have been cleverly used by the lapidary to invigorate the scene.

Provenance: From an old French private collection. By repute acquired during the first half of the 20th century and thence by descent in the same family.
Condition: Excellent condition with wear and traces of use. Some natural fissures and flaws to the mineral.

Weight: 575 grams
